Mother and Father-in-laws ...

Mum, Dad, first names or other?

to their face or behind their back?

good point ... both

Must say Im not a fan of calling the inlaws Mum and Dad, you only have one set IMO, my sister in law who has been in the family for 3 years does it and makes me look like a tool as Ive been in the family for 16 years!

yeah first names for me.

altho sometimes i will yell out maaarrrrmmmmmm like a kid does to annoy the mother in law

I've had two sets of in-laws and never ever considered calling them Mum or Dad.
First names if calling their attention, but otherwise I didn't use a title at all.

I wasn't close to either set, though I felt some sympathy for the first father-in-law as his wife was a bit of a pain.
I understood why he was often out for a few hours, being a good neighbour, and doing little household repairs for the Polish widow who lived out the back.
It was amusing that I was the only one who noticed.
(He knew I had, but neither of us ever said anything.)

Yep, first names. Although my kids call my Mum and Step-Dad ( Nan and Gramps ) and they call my wifes Mum and Step-Dad ( Nanna and Pop ) so I find myself calling them Nanna and Pop more than their first names.

After 20 years together with the wife, I have never called them Mum and Dad.

Who in the hell calls them mum and dad? weird

First name for me....would feel wierd for both parties if mum and dad was the reference.

First names for me too.

Believe it or not, my in-laws are really good to me, and they call me their son, as my wife is an only child. But out of respect to my parents, I can't bring myself to call my in-laws Mum and Dad.

Bazz and Sandra for me.

I think it's common in the Mediterranean, but stand to be corrected.

We go with Mum and D*ckhead for both sets

My sis in law calls my Mum Mumma, gives me the shits

spot on

i got queried by the father in law as to why I dont call him Dad.

I simply said well you are not my father and that title does not belong to you for me.

Well I'm from Tassie so I call mine Mum & Dad

I have found it's more a female thing to do
